Quotes
-
Kylo Ren : I'll destroy her. And you. And all of it.
Luke Skywalker : No. Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you. Just like your father.
-
Kylo Ren : Did you come back to say you forgive me? To save my soul?
Luke Skywalker : No.
[they draw their lightsabers and fight]
Luke Skywalker : I failed you, Ben. I'm sorry.
Kylo Ren : I'm sure you are! The Resistance is dead, the war is over, and when I kill you, I will have killed the last Jedi!
Luke Skywalker : Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi.
-
Kylo Ren : The Empire, your parents, the Resistance, the Sith, the Jedi... let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That's the only way to become what you are meant to be.
-
Kylo Ren : Do you know the truth about your parents? Or have you always known? You've just hidden it away. Say it.
Rey : [in tears] They were nobody.
Kylo Ren : They were filthy junk traders. Sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a pauper's grave in the Jakku desert. You come from nothing. You're nothing. But not to me.
-
Kylo Ren : You're nothing. But not to me
-
Kylo Ren : It's time to let old things die. Snoke... Skywalker... the Sith... the Jedi... the rebels. Rey... I want you to join me. We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy.
Rey : Don't do this Ben. Please don't go this way.
Kylo Ren : No, no. You're still holding on! Let go! You want to know the truth about your parents or have you always known? You've just hidden it away. You know the truth. Say it.
[Rey is silent]
Kylo Ren : Say it.
Rey : [in tears] They were nobody.
Kylo Ren : They were filthy junk traders. Sold you off for drinking money. They're dead, in a pauper's grave in a Jakku desert. You had no place in this story. You come from nothing. You're nothing, but not to me. Join me.
[puts his hand out. Rey stares at him hesitantly in tears]
Kylo Ren : Please...
-
Rey : You don't have to do this. I feel the conflict in you. It's tearing you apart. Ben, when we touched hands, I saw your future. Just the shape of it but solid and clear. You will not bow before Snoke. You'll turn. I'll help you.
Kylo Ren : I saw something too. I know that when the time comes, you'll be the one to turn. You'll stand with me, Rey. I saw who your parents are.
-
Kylo Ren : [referring to the Milenium Falcon] Blast that piece of junk out of the sky!
-
Snoke : [Rey uses the force to take Kylo's lightsaber] Hold still that fiery spit of hope. You have the spirt of a true Jedi.
[Rey charges at Snoke with Kylo's lightsaber. Snoke picks Rey up with the force and she lands in front of Kylo. Kylo's lightsaber spins around and stops in front of him]
Snoke : And because of that you must die.
Snoke : [Snoke uses the force and turns Rey toward Kylo] My worthy apprentice, son of darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader, where there was conflict I now sense resolved, where there was weakness, strength. Complete your training and fulfill your destiny.
Kylo Ren : [Kylo picks up his lightsaber] I know what I have to do.
Rey : Ben...
Snoke : You think you can turn him. Pathetic child. I cannot be betrayed. I cannot be beaten. I see his mind. I see his every intent. Yes. I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true.
[Without Snoke knowing, Kylo uses the force to face Rey's lightsaber toward him]
Snoke : And now, foolish child, he ignites it and kills his true enemy!
[Rey's lightsaber ignites and Snoke is cut in half]
-
Kylo Ren : I want every gun that we have to fire on that man
-
General Hux : Finish this? Who do you think you're talking to? You presumed to command my army. Our Supreme Leader is dead! We have no ruler!
Kylo Ren : [Force chokes Hux] The Supreme Leader is dead!
General Hux : [Choking] Long live the Supreme Leader.
-
Kylo Ren : [on seeing Luke Skywalker standing in front of the First Order squadron] I want every gun we have to fire on that man.
[Hux looks at Kylo in disbelief]
Kylo Ren : Do it.
[guns begin to fire on Luke]
Kylo Ren : More! More!
[gunfire continues, slowly increasing in intensity]
General Hux : Enough.
[Kylo ignores him]
General Hux : THAT'S ENOUGH!
[gunfire stops, leaving only a huge cloud of dust]
General Hux : [dryly] Do you think you got him?
-
Rey : [having returned to her hut after her ordeal in the Mirror Cave] I thought I'd find answers here. I was wrong. I've never felt so alone.
Kylo Ren : You're not alone.
Rey : Neither are you.
[Rey and Ren reach out to each other through the Force. Luke notices them touching hands]
Luke Skywalker : STOP!
[Rey and Ren look at Luke angrily; Luke uses the Force to push the hut apart. Rey searches for Ren, who has vanished]
Rey : [turns to Luke] Is it true? Did you try to murder him?
Luke Skywalker : Leave this island, now!
[Luke storms off into the rain, but Rey follows after him]
Rey : Stop... STOP!
[knocks Luke down in the back of the head with her quarterstaff]
Rey : Did you do it? Did you create Kylo Ren?
[the two proceed to fight each other along the cliffside until she gets the upper hand, forcing Luke into submission with Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber]
Rey : Tell me the truth.
Luke Skywalker : I saw darkness. I sensed it building in him. I'd seen it in moments during his training. But then I looked inside, and it was beyond what I ever imagined. Snoke had already turned his heart. He would bring destruction and pain and death, and the end of everything I love because of what he will become, and for the briefest moment of pure instinct, I thought I could stop it. It passed like a fleeting shadow, and I was left with shame and with consequence. And the last thing I saw were the eyes of a frightened boy whose Master had failed him.
Rey : You failed him by thinking his choice was made. It wasn't! There's still conflict in him. If he would turn from the Dark Side, that could shift the tide! This could be how we win!
Luke Skywalker : This is not going to go the way you think!
Rey : It is. Just now, when we touched hands, I saw his future. As solid as I'm seeing you. If I go to him, Ben Solo will turn.
Luke Skywalker : Rey... Don't do this.
Rey : Then he is our last hope.
-
Snoke : [referring to General Hux] You wonder why I keep a rabid cur in such a place of power? A cur's weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool. How's your wound?
Kylo Ren : [through damaged vocabulator] It's nothing.
Snoke : Hmm. The mighty Kylo Ren. When I found you, I saw what all masters live to see: Raw, untamed power... and beyond that, something truly special. The potential of your bloodline. A new Vader. Now, I fear I was mistaken.
Kylo Ren : I've given everything I have to you... to the Dark Side...
Snoke : [referring to Ren's helmet] Take that ridiculous thing off.
[Ren takes off his helmet, revealing his bandaged facial scar]
Snoke : Yes... there it is. You have too much of your father's heart in you, young Solo.
Kylo Ren : I killed Han Solo. When the moment came, I didn't hesitate!
Snoke : And look at you. The deed split your spirit to the bone. You were unbalanced, bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber! YOU FAILED!
[Ren tries to attack Snoke, but he blasts Force lightning into the ground which ricochets into Ren, blasting him back; the Praetorian guards draw their weapons in response]
Snoke : Skywalker lives! The seed of the Jedi Order lives! As long as he does... hope lives in the galaxy. I thought you would be the one to snuff it out. Alas, you're no Vader. You're just a child in a mask.
-
Snoke : I did not expect Skywalker to be so wise. We will give him and the Jedi Order the death he desires. After the Rebels are gone, we will go to his planet and obliterate the entire island.
[Rey tries to use the Force to take Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, but Snoke uses it to hit her on the head]
Snoke : Such spunk. Look here now.
[uses the Force to move Rey toward the viewport to show her the Resistance transport ships being destroyed one by one]
Snoke : The entire Resistance on those transports. Soon, they will all be gone. For you, all is lost.
[Rey uses the Force to take Ren's lightsaber]
Snoke : Oh, still that fiery spit of hope? You have the spirit of a true Jedi!
[Rey charges at Snoke with Ren's lightsaber. Snoke picks her up with the Force and she lands in front of Ren. His lightsaber spins around and stops in front of him]
Snoke : And because of that... you must die.
[uses the Force and turns Rey toward Ren]
Snoke : My worthy apprentice, son of darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader. Where there was conflict, I now sense resolve; Where there was weakness, strength. Complete your training, and fulfill your destiny.
Kylo Ren : [picks up his lightsaber] I know what I have to do.
Rey : Ben...
Snoke : [laughs] You think you can turn him? Pathetic child, I cannot be betrayed. I cannot be beaten. I see his mind: I see his every intent. Yes. I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true!
[without Snoke knowing, Ren uses the Force to face Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber toward him]
Snoke : And now, foolish child, he ignites it... and kills his true enemy!
[Ren uses the Force to ignite Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber and Snoke is cut in half at the waist; the lightsaber flies back into Rey's hand. Ren ignites his own lightsaber and he and Rey fight Snoke's Praetorian guards]
-
Kylo Ren : Prepare my ship!
-
Rey : Why did you hate your father? Give me an honest answer. You had a father who loved you! He gave a damn about you!
Kylo Ren : I didn't hate him.
Rey : Then why?
Kylo Ren : Why what?
[Rey hesitates]
Kylo Ren : Why what? Say it.
Rey : [tearfully] Why did you... Why did you kill him? I don't understand.
Kylo Ren : No? Your parents threw you away like garbage.
Rey : They didn't!
Kylo Ren : They did. But you can't stop needing them. It's your greatest weakness. Looking for them everywhere... in Han Solo, now in Skywalker. Did he tell you what happened that night?
Rey : Yes.
Kylo Ren : [beat] No. He had sensed my power, as he senses yours. And he feared it.
[Rey sees a vision of Luke attacking a young Ben Solo]
Rey : [shaken] Liar.
Kylo Ren : Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. It's the only way to become who you were meant to be.
